Southwestern Baked Spaghetti

"This is an easy, yet very tasty spaghetti casserole, which reminds me of the spaghetti they used to serve us in elementary school. I loved their spaghetti! I normally only brought my lunch, but not on spaghetti day!"

  1. I have been making this for a year and my whole family loves it-kids included! The added spices make this dish quite a few cuts above most baked spaghetti recipes. The only change I make regulary is to double the tomato sauce, oregano and garlic. (We like it more saucy than the original recipe comes out.) The addition of kidney beans is fantastic.
     
  2. This recipe is so easy and very tasty too! I added a can of diced tomatoes the second time I made it and will make it that way on the future. Thanks for posting!
     
  3. I made this and we enjoyed this dish immensely. I did switch the green bell pepper for a poblano pepper. This was very tasty and we will make this again. Thanks for posting a great, super fast and easy recipe!
     
  4. I made this ahead, froze it, and then pulled it out one night when I didn’t have time to make a meal from scratch. This froze nicely, and was delicious when I pulled it from the oven! I followed the recipe, except for using ground turkey in place of beef, and using red, yellow and green bell peppers. I thawed in the fridge all day, then baked it at 425 for about 40 minutes. DH loved it. Thanks!
     
  5. Excellent! I didn't change any of the ingredients or amounts. The only thing I did do different was stir in a few spoonfuls of the sauce into the pasta before baking it.<br/>I loved it, my husband loved it, the kids ate it, and there were no leftovers!

  2. My husband and I love this meal, and make it all the time. Its very easy and tasty. And makes for good leftovers! To make it easier and quicker, onion powder can work for the onions, and garlic powder instead of the garlic cloves. But it doesn't taste as good as the original ingredients!
     
  3. I made this for dinner tonight. It was great!! My husband said to give it 5!! He's not a big fan of casserole type meals, so this is high praise from him! I used pork sausage instead of ground beef, and subbed pepper jack cheese for regular jack. I didn't have ground beef or regular jack cheese. I didn't change anything else, and look forward to making it again with ingredients called for. Thanks for a great recipe!!
     
  4. I wld have used a lil sauce on the bottom of the pan and I used several different cheeses. Monterey jack, cheddar jack, asiago, parm, mozzarella, mild cheddar ...also I used kielbasa and ground beef.
     
  5. This recipe was very easy to make and it was de-licious! Instead of the ground beef I used ground turkey instead. It was still fabulous! It was so good I'm making it for the potluck that I will be going to. I made the full serving for 6 even tho its just me. I divided it up into six servings froze it and I had a ready to made dinner for the week. The only thing I had to do was to add a side dish or salad. . The next time when I make it I will throw in some mushrooms and maybe some olives. For a person like me who HATE to cook this was perfect!

<p><br /><br />The picture is of me and my husband at the Grand Canyon - November 2008. <br /><br />I've just started a food blog and would love for those interested in cooking and recipes to check it out. You can follow my food journey at <a href=http://onecookbookatathyme.wordpress.com/>http://onecookbookatathyme.wordpress.com/</a></p> <p>Cooking for family and friends is one of my favorite things to do. I spend most of my free time in the kitchen, either checking out Recipezaar or experimenting with a newly found recipe. <br /><br />My DH and I are both from Texas and we both come from Italian families. Anyone who stops by my house should be prepared to eat!!! I'm always forcing friends and family to try whatever it is that just came out of the oven. I know that is a horrible habit but I can't break it... I think it must be the Italian in me! LOL :) <br /><br />My sister (<a href=http://www.recipezaar.com/browse/getchef.zsp?id=85654>Cookin_Kit</a>) and I used to help my Mom (<a href=http://www.recipezaar.com/browse/getchef.zsp?id=124343>JudaThann</a>) in the kitchen a lot growing up. I guess that is where my love for cooking began. I also enjoy sharing the kitchen with my DH (<a href=http://www.recipezaar.com/browse/getchef.zsp?id=202688>Sgt. Pepper</a>). He doesn't cook as often as he did when we first got married, but he makes an awesome pizza and still makes them at least twice a month. He keeps his recipes for the dough and the sauce top secret, even from me. LOL <br /><br />I have two step-children. The oldest graduated from college and the youngest is a sophomore at Texas Tech. I also have two cats and a dog. When I?m not cooking or hanging out here at Zaar, I like to knit, garden, read, watch old movies, travel, take photos, scrapbook, volunteer at a non-kill animal shelter, and spend time with my family and friends. <br /><br /><img src=http://images.snapfish.com/34359%3C8323232%7Ffp47%3Dot%3E232%3A%3D8%3A3%3D429%3DXROQDF%3E23237%3C2733%3B9%3Bot1lsi alt= /> <br /><br />I'm a co-host with <a href=http://www.recipezaar.com/browse/getchef.zsp?id=21399>Karen From Colorado</a> in the <a href=http://www.recipezaar.com/bb/viewforum?f=37>Mexican/Tex-Mex/Southern United States Cooking Forum</a>.
